Short, but good ride.
 
@Sven Great looking bike and light! Whole bike looks brand new.

I met Zinky early for a ride up South Mountain to Dobins’ Lookout. The Park has set up Sunday mornings as “Silent Sundays” and they prohibit motorized vehicles on the main park roads. Consequently there are tons of road bikes climbing the mountain and bombing back down. Despite not being able to keep up with the multi-gear bikes on the 1003ft climb, we passed a few on the way down. My GPS says max speed of 28.5 mph. Felt like 40 mph riding my 78 year old bike on Taiwanese tires down the bone dry dusty mountain asphalt. :) Absolutely a blast!! Didn’t use the coaster very often on the way down but it was still a little “warm” at the bottom. :oops::p

11.7mi 1:35hrs 1003 ft ascent - 1941 New World. ————————Camelback Mountain directly behind the 41.

@tripple3 will like these no kickstand pics from the lookout. Downtown PHX is the cluster of buildings above the seat.

Took one stop on the way down to check the coaster and take these pics of the view.

Got some nods from the roadies when we were leaving the parking lot. Everyone’s really just having fun on the mountain roads without cars. If you pedal to the top, you earn the blast down, spandex and carbon fiber or not.
